## Summary

The Leicester City Council has issued an open tender for the procurement of a flood warning system on Braunstone Lane East. The contract value is £10,000 GBP, with a tender closing date of 2nd February 2023. The contract period is from 9th April 2023 to 8th April 2028. The procurement falls under the services category and is suitable for voluntary, community, and social enterprise (VCSE) organisations.

This tender presents an opportunity for businesses in the software package and information systems industry to bid for providing flood warning services in Leicester. Companies with expertise in developing electronic river gauges and flood monitoring systems would be well-suited to compete for this contract. The active involvement of Leicester City Council in this procurement process signifies a commitment to enhancing flood preparedness and response capabilities in the local area.

## Notice

Since 2018/19, an electronic river gauge with data logging equipment has been in place on Braunstone Lane East, monitoring water level of the River Biam. The primary use of the system is to provide warning of potential flooding on Braunstone Lane East, as email alerts are sent when the river level reaches a certain threshold, and therefore informs what Traffic Management response is required. The existing river level monitoring system should also directly link into the Static Flood signs (in place at either end of Braunstone Lane East) to present either a message saying "Slow Down" or "Road Closed" along with a Flood Warning symbol. The river level data is currently uploaded onto an online portal which is available to view 24 hours a day throughout the year and also has the capability to download historic river level data stored within the system. As the current contract ends 08/04/2023 we now need to advertise to still provide these services.
